I’m installing applications using Docker, but I can’t find an official or community-maintained image that’s sufficiently robust and considered stable and reliable.
Hello,
there has been one which worked for installation - but not upgrades / customizations etc.
And there have been a few threads around this topic in general, I’d start digging here:
Overall, SuiteCRM is a stateful application and you’ll have file and database changes and I sometimes have to use the CLI to debug / fix / check things as well and prefer a fully fledged Linux VPS to do so.
Recently there have been more changes, which I haven’t seen / built inside any container so far:
The standard installation only takes a few minutes, once the server setup is correct:
I updated my CI/CD pipeline to build the container weekly. Also, the container is now on version 8.10.1.
I would highly recommend using Podman instead of Docker:
Organizations often choose Podman because it is:
-
More secure by default
-
More Linux-native
-
Better for rootless operation
-
Better integrated with systemd and SELinux
-
More aligned with Kubernetes/OpenShift architectures

I’ve got it working with podman and selinux by creating a container based off the official php container which contains apache. You can get the files and a brief how-to from my github page at github dot com/cshabazian/SuiteCRM_Podman
My company have almost finished working on a docker image backed with CI/CD
we will be doing version pinning for the PHP runtime, the application (SuiteCRM), as well as the OS (alpine). This image will also come with a sister web server image running nginx.
currently the images are only be available for our hosted clients but I am currently trying to talk to the owner to provide a subscription service.
